It sounds like they're going to develop 5 more "plans" and do 1654684 more rounds of consultation. They've done tons already and the general response has been OMFG YES SOUNDS GREAT... time to get going already.

Just had a chance to go over the new PDF. Actually, I have no real problem with the 6F max. you speak of. The concept has evolved dramatically from the initial PDF they released last year (in OP). They may not be the larger developments we were thinking about last year but the concept is fine for the Forks..
